You'd have to check with udisks. My guess is that while reverting might
work for the time being /media is going away in the future as the old
implementation had issues (namespace and privacy in particular). If you
have concerns about the new approach I suggest raising them sooner rather
than later, before things become hard to change.

Note that in most cases the location of this folder is not something the
user sees.
